I learned that you could get drunk drinking scope mouthwash.
Oh, man.
Then I learned that in order to offset the problems with that, you could drink half a bottle of Pepto-Bismol.
And I was on a church youth trip where I unleashed this secret upon all my fellow people.
But none of them wanted to do the Pepto-Bismol trick, so everybody was vomiting.

And then strangely enough, I stopped using drugs and alcohol in high school because I had started this tutoring program for disadvantaged kids.
And I just saw what alcohol and drug use was doing to their lives.
But when I was 18, my best friend started dating my girlfriend.

It hurts.
And so somebody said, have a drink.
I said, sure.
And from that moment on, I was rarely sober again.
It was alcohol.
It was weed.
